About me
I am a passionate and experienced Lactation Consultant with over 16 years of experience helping women succeed on their breastfeeding journeys. I have always had a passion for learning more about breastfeeding in college and decided to go onto to become an IBCLC shortly after. Once I experienced breastfeeding my four children, I found that each breastfeeding journey was much different. I found that breastfeeding is not just about the benefits and nourishment for the baby, but the empowerment I felt made me more determined to help other moms achieve that same feeling. I received amazing support from other lactation colleagues and my fellow mom-to-mom community, which made me even more equipped to give moms peer and professional support rooted in evidence-based practice. I am dedicated and excited to be providing families with the tools they need to achieve their own personal feeding goals. I offer virtual and home visits for prenatal and postpartum moms, breastfeeding education classes, back to work classes, and nutrition and breastfeeding classes.

Ratings and reviews
Danielle was such and inspiration for me during my breastfeeding needs. From all the questions I had to helping me get through the stressful times, she was there for me through it all. I highly recommend reaching out to her for any and all concerns.

I love having Danielle as part of my care team. She is very knowledgeable, caring, and overall great to work with. I recommend Danielle to everyone interested in or needing lactation care.

Danielle is amazing! Very well educated in nursing. She helped tremendously with my daughter when she had issues latching when first born and then when she had a lip/tongue tie revision. Danielle made multiple home visits, 1-2x a week, to make sure my girl was latching correctly and transferring milk. She helped bottle feed her and made sure I had the right flange sizes for pumping. Danielle is always quick to respond and has the best advice! Highly recommend reaching out!

Everyone needs a Danielle in their postpartum journey. She truly has been so supportive every step of the way! I started working with Danielle soon after my son was born, and breastfeeding become very painful. She knew exactly what to do to improve my baby’s latch and ease the pain I was feeling. She has also supported me through other issues that have come up, from a tongue tie revision to looking into food sensitivies to sleep challenges. She is the kindest, most encouraging and empathetic person and has SO much knowledge and helpful information to share. I couldn’t recommend her more!!

Danielle helped me tremendously with breastfeeding. I didn’t know much about it because it being my first time, and she made me feel so comfortable. I will forever be thankful for her and all she did to help.

Danielle has been an incredible lactation consultant to work with!! She is very knowledgeable as well as compassionate, encouraging, patient, and personable. I have never felt rushed during any of my appointments and have always felt heard and have had all my questions thoroughly answered! She has a wealth of knowledge and has coached me in more ways than one, leaving me more confident than I was before. After our appointments, she takes the time to write out a detailed report of what we went over and a plan to help me continue being successful in my breastfeeding journey. I will definitely be using her for all my lactation needs and would recommend her to anyone that’s looking!
